23 There I met a bonny lassie, Keeping a‘ her ewes thegither, O‘er the moor amang the heather, O‘er the moor amang the heather. There I met a bonny lassie. Keeping a‘ her ewes thegither.

Says I, my dear where is thy hame, In moor or dale pray tell me whither? She says, I tent the fleecy flocks That feed among the blooming heather O‘er the moor, &c.

We laid us down upon a bank, Sae warm and sunny was the weather She left her flocks at large to rove Amang the bonny blooming heather. O’er the moor, &c.

While thus we lay, she sang a sang, Till echo rang a mile and farther. And aye the burden o’ the sang Was o’er the moor amang the heather, O’er the moor, &c.

She charm’d my heart, and aye sinsyne, I could na think on any ither: By sea and sky she shall be mine The bonny lass amang the heather. O’er the moor &c.
